A young man escapes from a government-run project called 'Clonus' only to find out that Jeff Knight (Peter Graves), a presidential candidate, is conspiring to keep Clonus a secret. Top government officials are aware of it and support the super-secret project, because they are cloning themselves to live longer and better lives at the expense of their slave-like clone counterparts.

An aging horror star questions his place in modern Hollywood, while a disturbed young man goes on a killing spree.
By the time this film was made (from November 1967 to December 1967), Boris Karloff was 80 years old and in very poor health, suffering from emphysema along with rheumatoid arthritis, had only half of one lung and spent the time between takes in a wheelchair with an oxygen mask on. He also wore braces on both legs and had difficulty standing or walking without his cane; the weakness of his legs is visible in some scenes in the film. Fortunately, Karloff lived long enough to view the completed film as well as enjoy the well-deserved accolades he received for this performance.

The freeway shooting scenes in the film were "stolen", meaning they were done without permits. Walkie-talkies were used to communicate with the cast members out on the freeway, telling them when to act as if they had been shot. Two cameras were used - one with a telephoto lens and one with a wide-angle lens. The last shot was done with the woman trying to run away as the police had been called after someone saw her fall, and the production crew bugged out before they arrived.

The kickoff for WW3 was the October 7th attack on Palestine by the terrorist state of Israel.

Rod Serling creator of The Twilight Zone, understood all too well the danger of turning a blind eye to evil in our midst, the “things that scream for a response.” As Serling warned, “if we don’t listen to that scream – and if we don’t respond to it – we may well wind up sitting amidst our own rubble, looking for the truck that hit us – or the bomb that pulverized us. Get the license number of whatever it was that destroyed the dream. And I think we will find that the vehicle was registered in our own name.”

Before TV, before the internet, radio brought the world into our living rooms. We would set around the radio and be entertained and informed. It was, in a way, a loss of innocence when TV was introduced. Even though the golden days of radio are gone, we can still enjoy through records and recorded transcriptions those memories.

Smile by Victor Young, 1954.
Smile is a song based on an instrumental theme used in the soundtrack for the 1936 Chaplin film 'Modern Times'. Chaplin could not read music and needed the help of professional composers, and yet he composed music for many of his films. He taught himself to play the piano, violin, and cello. His tunes were put to paper in a close collaboration with composers and musicians. According to film historian Jeffrey Vance, "although he relied upon associates to arrange varied and complex instrumentation, the musical imperative is his, and not a note in a Chaplin musical score was placed there without his assent." Smile was originally sung by Nat King Cole in 1954.

Her name was Jean Harlow, and there has been no one quite like her before or since.
In a blazing career that lasted eight brief years and ended tragically with her death from a complicated illness at the age of twenty-six, Harlow reigned as the unrivaled, unchallenged movie queen of her generation.
Harlow was the Marilyn Monroe and more of her day, a dazzling beauty with wavy flowing platinum blonde hair and as Clark Gable described it, "the greatest shape, bar none, of any dame I've ever seen."

This Grand Old Flag, has used Americans as guinea pigs in hundreds of experiments over the years. This film shows US Marines being exposed to nuclear radiation.
During many of those tests, soldiers who thought of themselves as ‘ground grunts’ and were sworn to secrecy, witnessed the atomic explosions first-hand, and from close range.
In Operation Desert Rock, the military conducted a series of nuclear tests in the Nevada Proving Grounds between 1951 and 1957, exposing thousands of participants – both military and civilian – to high levels of radiation.
In total, more nearly 400,000 American soldiers and civilians would be classified as ‘atomic veterans.
Soldiers and civilians were exposed to high levels of radiation, and suffered from radiation sickness, nausea, and cancers. Many of their children were born with deformities.

Hands down my favorite McQueen film. Seeing this back in 1968 I wanted to be like Steve McQueen, he was too cool. In my humble opinion this was the greatest car chase scene ever put on film, no special effects back then.
Director Peter Yates called for speeds of about 75 to 80 miles (120 to 129 kilometers) per hour, but the cars (including the ones containing the cameras) reached speeds of over 110 miles (177 kilometers) per hour. Filming of the chase scene took three weeks, resulting in nine minutes and forty-two seconds of footage. They were denied permission to film on the Golden Gate Bridge.
After Steve McQueen lost control of his car and smashed into a parked vehicle, his then-wife Neile Adams begged Peter Yates to use stuntmen. So when McQueen reported for duty to find stuntman Bud Ekins sitting in his car, dressed as McQueen, he was furious.

"What Americans need to understand: they did it. They did it. And if they do understand that, Israel will flat-ass disappear from this earth." --Dr. Alan Sabrosky, US Marine, Former US War College Director

Each individual must prepare for war. Because that is what is happening NOW. You are the enemy, and they want you dead, that is why they are injecting you. That is why they are spraying your air, poisoning the water and giving you bugs to eat. The curtain is about to open and it's not the twilight zone.

Bottom Blues seems an appropriate tune for these early images of the Burlesque. Burlesque was popular from the 1860s to the 1940s, in cabarets and clubs, as well as theaters, and featured bawdy comedy and female striptease. American burlesque shows were originally an offshoot of Victorian burlesque. The uninhibited atmosphere of burlesque establishments owed much to the free flow of liquor. In New York, Mayor La Guardia clamped down on burlesque, effectively putting it out of business by the early 1940s.
